Fighting the god of hunting, Mara, is not easy. $f,

There are no allies for no reason in this world. With the water of life in Sauron's hands, he is a little more confident about asking the princess to make a move. But the premise of everything depends on his next plan. In order to deal with the God of Hunting, he has prepared a lot of things. Even, there are things that have to be paid for.

before the actual implementation of the plan.

Sauron still has a very important thing to do, and that is to go to the Gobi desert to meet some people.

The attitude of these people is the key to all of Sauron's next plans. If they are willing to help Sauron, then Sauron does not need to start the backup plan, but if they are unwilling to help Sauron, then Sauron can only rely on the backup plan Deal with the god of hunting - Mara.

These people are paladins!

Sauron's attitude towards paladins has always been complicated.

As a character in the lawful camp, he admired the paladins for maintaining order, but because of the opposite of goodness and evil, Sauron had a violent conflict with paladins in the way of doing things and doing things.

for so long.

Sauron has always avoided a significant degree with the paladin, and even several times he favored the other party for help.

For example, where is the core material of the Holy Avenger!

And when fighting the vampire god son, although Sauron's purpose is to solve a dangerous enemy once and for all, it is undeniable that he also saved the lives of those paladins.

On this trip, Sauron went to the desert Gobi just to meet them. From here, through the elf forest along the eastern trade route, they can quickly reach their cultivation place. Sauron needs to meet them, test the attitude of these paladins towards him, and then consider making a small request.

This small request is to borrow the [Holy Avenger]!

That's right.

Sauron wants to use the power of the [Holy Avenger] to solve the god of hunting-Mara!

As one of the most powerful weapons in the Material Plane, the Holy Avenger completely crushed all of Sauron's equipment in all aspects of ability.

But this weapon is not something he can possess.

If anyone who is not a paladin takes possession of this weapon, there will be endless trouble!

Sauron is able to use the Holy Avenger.

Although this process is a bit painful and the damage to the spirit is also very serious, it is undeniable that it relies on the power of [Universal Skilled Hands]. Sauron can end a fight with the Holy Avenger.

This most powerful weapon on the Material Plane has proven its power when fighting the Son of Vampire!

Therefore, when he decided to deal with Mara, the god of hunting, the image of this weapon immediately popped into Sauron's mind. If you can fight with the Holy Avenger. So Sauron's chances of winning can be increased by at least 20%. This weapon can be said to have a unique advantage against Mara, the god of hunting of the [Chaos and Evil] camp. Its powerful lethality is combined with Sauron's explosive ability. If it can get the help of other powerful people, it may even replay the crushing advantage of the previous battle.

Holy Avenger in hand. Soren's reservation plan can be cut in half.

Even, he may not have to go to great lengths to provoke conflicts between the God of Hunting and other gods, as long as he avoids being besieged by believers of the Church of Hunting and Killing, and finds an opportunity to kill the God of Hunting and Killing head-on.

but!

Sauron couldn't grasp the attitude of the paladins towards him, and couldn't be sure whether they were willing to lend him this most important relic, so he secretly provoked the conflict between the Hunting Church and the Suffering Church in advance.

………………

Sandstorm.

Sauron's figure appeared outside a Gobi Desert.

Because the catastrophe of the saints is coming, the route to the eastern kingdom has become very dangerous. The terrible climate variation has buried many merchants in the past, so there are not many people passing through the desert of death for the time being.

The paladin's secret base cannot be easily approached.

In case the brain-twitching guy threw a spell of 'detecting the alignment' to Sauron, then the next thing would be very embarrassing.

Do it?

Do you still want to borrow the Holy Avenger?

Don't do it?

What if the other party insisted on attacking the evil guy Sauron?

so.

The smartest choice. It is better to find someone who Sauron has met before, so as to avoid direct conflict. Paladins also know how to be polite. If there is such a person who has contacted in advance, other Paladins should no longer cast the spell of detecting alignment on Sauron. In terms of flexibility, these paladins living in seclusion near the Gobi are much easier to get along with than those from the Radiance Church.

Those are the eyes that can't contain sand at all!

Who to look for?

The most ideal target is naturally the [Jailor] His Excellency, who has a very high status within the Paladin organization.

However, Sauron was not familiar with him, so his first target should be the young paladin he had met in the City of Fortune. If you can connect with the Holy Avenger through him, and then find a way or even pay some price to lend the weapon, then the next thing will be much easier.

Find someone!

This is a bit of a nuisance.

However, the channel manpower that Sauron can mobilize now has not been what it used to be. He quickly learned the movements of the paladins.

Arendelle.

Now that they have obtained the important parts of the Holy Avenger, the most important thing for the paladins at the moment is to repair this weapon. However, there are very few people in the entire material plane who can repair this weapon, one of the most powerful artifacts in the material plane. This is not a joke. Even the most skilled blacksmith in the human kingdom. There's no way they can fix the Holy Avenger even the slightest bit. Because this weapon is an artifact, it has residual powerful divine power on it.

In other words, it is necessary to reach a level capable of using divine power to repair this weapon.

Look at the entire Material Plane.

There are not many people who can do this. Not only must they be able to use divine power, but they must also have extremely high attainments in magic weapons. Breaking your fingers you can find only a few people.

The eldest princess of Arendelle!

There is no doubt that the eldest princess is very powerful as a divinely favored warlock, and she is also the only person in the entire north who can easily mobilize divine power.

Secondly, as a spellcaster above the high-level legend, the eldest princess has a very high-end understanding of alchemy enchanting.

The part found in the Underdark is the Eye of Tyr.

This thing is also an artifact-level material, and it is not something that can be embedded on it casually. The complicated process involved and the price it needs to pay are enough to make anyone think twice. To restore an incomplete divine weapon to its peak state, just thinking about the amount of divine power that needs to be consumed can make Sauron's teeth hurt.

so.

Unsurprisingly, the paladins did not make any progress in repairing the Holy Avengers, because the eldest princess of Arendelle was not willing to spend her precious divine power in order to help them.

So things have dragged on until now.
